Why is Gasoline Consumption Tanking?

More EIA data from their beta site. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Next monthly data March 1st.

This graph shows the same monthly total gasoline sales volume drop a bit differently. Hard to believe but gasoline sales in the US are half of what they were in June 2007 and dropping like a rock. (You can draw a box with your mouse and zoom in.)

Looking at more recent data -- "US Weekly Product Supplied" for gasoline. It doesn't show the same dramatic drop off (???) but interestingly shows a drop in Jan 2012 that we don't yet have monthly "sales" data for. So will monthly sales drop even further?

Looking a monthly Exports, here I see a dramatic uptick in exports of gasoline. Makes sense if sales in the US have dropped so much.

Imports of gasoline are down which makes sense.

This shows the recent gasoline exports increase on a weekly basis.
